I can't get that cab out of my head, I'm constantly thinking about it....

I phoned a few friends and I found one who is prepared to lend me some storage space. :).

So I'm going to make a bid in a few minutes. ;D

No, sadly not :( I was sniped in the last second... F***ing eBay. I learned that on Yahoo Auctions Japan sniping isn't possible, because when somebody does, the listing gets a 10 minute extension. eBay should incorporate this technique too, so that all the sniping is finally over...

My max bid was £250.

Sniping is a sport. I use it also now and then.

Well spotted.

Do you maybe know if Sagaia is always 2 screen or is there also a 3 screen version? The Japanese version (Darius II) has a 2 screen and 3 screen variation.

The one in that picture is 2 19" screens - I used to have one :D. I have never seen a 3 screen Darius II or Sagaia cabinet in Europe. I believe the 3 screen was Japan only. I have seen many 3 screen Darius 1 machines however - I used to have one of those too! :D

I made an offer on that untested Sagaia in the background of that eBay listing, and the seller accepted. So my very first arcade road trip will follow soon :D
